1st Interception

[Caffrey]

After replaying the 1st half today, I could not help but endure watching the 1st interception so I tried to dissect it.  Dierdorf makes a comment that he stared down Brazil on that play, yes but that was not the reason for the int.  It was supposed to be a quick slant, the safety was not an issue.  The CB Dennard was.  Brazil I think was supposed to make a quick inside move and slant.  It was more of a timing plan. Brazil tried to do an outside fake and in a hand exchange/tangle and as he cutting inside, Luck threw the ball and Dennard jumped the route for the int.  Brazil should have made a quick inside move from the get go and his body would have prevented the int and get the possible 1st down reception and it was a 3rd and 2 situation.  Luck is not the type to point fingers at Brazil and it is his fault too, not to recognize Brazil was unable to get position on the quick slant.  Otherwise, Brazil did have a good game.  We are making Dennard, a 7th round draft choice last year, look like an All-Pro.

Not an unusual thing for the Colts to do, i.e. Case Keenum and Tavon Austin.

Still haven't figured out if you are just a troll ... or you are really that delusional.

I forgot to mention that I'm not throwing Mr Luck under the bus, just making an observation.  Like I said about Manning in his youth, I believe in Andrew Luck and has had an outstanding 2 years in the league.  He is destined to to win a Super Bowl for us, probably more then 1 Super Bowl Championships, before he is done

Joke. I am more than happy with who we took and the 23 wins he has led us to

Luck threw the same exact INT last year and we blamed him for it on this message board. Then later in the week we heard from the coaches that it was a timing route and the receiver cannot let the DB get the inside. In this instance, Brazill opted to go over the DB rather than cut him off, leading to the pick.

Overall, it still falls on Luck and the INT counts, along with the points scored off of it. But Luck has to trust his receivers and make the throw before they're open. In this case, it didn't work out.

Dennard is not your usual  7th round pick. He would have been taken waaaayyyyyyy higher if he wasn't dumb enough to punch a police offer in the weeks leading up to the draft.

I'm not a route running expert, but that did look pretty bad on Brazill's part.

OK I see, good scouting, another character issue guy for the Pats, but not as bad as Hernandez.

The football knowledge to be gleamed from this forum could fit into a half full thimble.

Brazil is not a good route runner he's more of a deep threat so i could see that happening. Luck still shouldn't have thrown it though you have to know your personal and who your throwing it too. Whalen and T.Y would have caught it.

[bertjones#1]

I saw it the same way... on a quick slant the receiver should never let the db get inside of him.If you`re Andrew Luck u have to trust that the receiver is going to run the pattern correctly.
